Professional duct system planning and installation
A well-designed duct system is essential for efficient heating and cooling, even temperature distribution, and indoor air quality. Our approach prioritizes durability, code compliance, and practical serviceability. We plan installations that minimize noise and air leakage while providing straightforward access for maintenance and future upgrades.
What we do
Our technicians evaluate the building envelope, HVAC equipment, and occupant needs to produce a duct layout that meets performance and code requirements. Services include:
- Manual load calculations and airflow design.
- Sheet metal fabrication and insulated flex duct installation.
- Zoning and balancing to eliminate hot and cold spots.
- Inspection and testing for leakage and pressure differentials.
Design process
Design begins with a site assessment. We record floor plans, ceiling and wall obstruction points, and equipment locations. This information is used to create a layout that reduces unnecessary turns and length, which improves static pressure and system longevity.
Installation standards
Installations follow applicable local codes and industry practice. Common elements of our standard installations:
- Rigid duct where long runs or high-velocity sections are required.
- Insulated duct in unconditioned spaces to prevent thermal loss.
- High-quality gasketing and mechanical fasteners to reduce leakage.
- Accessible plenums and service panels for future maintenance.
Materials and workmanship
We use materials selected for longevity and suitability to the local climate. Sheet metal gauges, insulation R-values and duct sealants are chosen to meet project requirements. Every installation is inspected during and after completion to ensure workmanship meets our standards.
Performance verification
After installation we measure airflow at registers, check static pressures, and perform a visual inspection for proper pitch, support, and seals. When needed, we provide a written report with measured values and recommended adjustments.

Why professional duct work matters
DIY duct repairs and improvised runs can compromise equipment efficiency, shorten system life, and increase operating costs. Professional duct design reduces these risks: systems run closer to manufacturer specifications, controls and thermostats respond more reliably, and occupants notice more consistent comfort.
Typical project timeline
Timelines vary by scope. A straightforward residential replacement or rework usually completes in one to two days; larger remodels and new builds require coordinated scheduling with other trades. We provide a clear project plan with milestones so you know what to expect on-site.
Maintenance and serviceability
Careful layout improves access for filter changes, duct cleaning, and repairs. We locate access panels at serviceable points and document the system with a reference plan left with the owner.
Customer commitments
Our work follows a formal scope and estimate. We maintain clear communication and provide permits and inspection documentation when required. Safety on the jobsite and respect for the property are standard practice.
Frequently asked questions
- How long will duct installation take?
- Typical residential projects range from one day for small jobs to several days for larger remodels. We provide an estimated schedule with your proposal.
- Do you test for leaks?
- Yes. We inspect seals and may perform a duct leakage test when necessary to quantify and correct losses.
- Can new ducts improve my energy bills?
- Properly sized and sealed ducts reduce wasted airflow and allow HVAC equipment to operate more efficiently. Savings depend on the existing system condition and local usage patterns.
Project example
A recent condominium project required rerouting ducts to accommodate a new kitchen layout. After a site survey we proposed a plan that shortened runs, reduced transitions, and added balancing dampers. The result was improved airflow at every register and quieter operation in living spaces.
